Sigh, "Whenever the unlikely solutions are rejected then all that are left are the probable."

In fedora 15 I had been using Devrim's repo and had 'excluded' postgresql in the fedora
and fedora update repositories.

When fedora 16 came out I removed the exclusion from the fedora repo but NOT the update repo.
(and I disabled the pgdg repo).

Sorry for all the noise…
